La Paz, Bolivia

LA PAZ : Situated on the Altiplano at the western border of Bolivia is the department of La Paz, a spectacular area enveloped by a wide variety of landscapes and attractions. Home to the mighty mountains, sub tropical valleys, and ancient architectural sights.

……………………………………

About the paper doll: La Paz is home to the iconic Cholita. The dress of the Cholita originates centuries ago during the period of Spanish colonization. In an effort to assimilate their new subjects into Spanish culture they required the native inhabitants to dress in peasant attire common to Spain at the time. The natives have since adopted this wardrobe, reclaiming and taking the narrative away from what it once was, they have now made the pollera(skirt) and bowler hat distinctively Andean.

Dance Caporales: I took a poll, and the dance that won for the department of La Paz was Caporales. Caporales were created and presented to the public for the first time in 1969 by the Estrada Pacheco brothers, who were inspired in the character of the ‘Caporal’ this is the overseer of slaves and was usually mixed race, wore boots and held a whip, a dance that belongs to the region of the Yungas Bolivia. Although Yungas is a part of the La Paz Department and because of their significant contribution I will be adding a Yungas paper doll with the help of @karinanogales @africanbolivianwomen.
